I really like this arrangement, and I originally recorded it using a regular acoustic piano sound but the decay of the sound was so fast it didn't ring out like I wanted. High reverb made it sound muddy. So, I tried out an electric piano sound and I liked it a lot better. I might be persuaded to put an mp3 of the original acoustic piano version up here, however, for those that might prefer it.

Latin Traditional, arr. by Chip Davis

1. Veni, Veni Emmanuel! 
Captivum solve Israel! 
Qui gemit in exsilio, 
Privatus Dei Filio.

Refrain: 
Gaude, gaude,
Emmanuel Nascetur pro te, Israel.

2. Veni, O Jesse virgula, 
Ex hostis tuos ungula, 
De specu tuos tartari 
Educ et antro barathri.
Refrain

3. Veni, Veni O Oriens! 
Solare nos adveniens, 
Noctis depelle nebulas, 
Dirasque noctis tenebras.
Refrain

4. Veni, Clavis Davidica, 
Regna reclude caelica, 
Fac iter tutum superum, 
Et claude vias inferum.
Refrain

5. Veni, Veni Adonai!
Qui populo in Sinai 
Legem dedisti vertice, 
In Majestate gloriae.
Refrain

6. Veni, O Sapientia, 
Quae hic disponis omnia, 
Veni, viam prudentiae 
Ut doceas et gloriae.
Refrain

7. Veni, Veni, Rex gentium, 
Veni, Redemptor omnium, 
Ut salvas tuos famulos 
Peccati sibi conscios.
Refrain

English Translation: 1. O come, O come, Emmanuel, 
And ransom captive Israel, 
That mourns in lonely exile here 
Until the Son of God appear.

Refrain: 
Rejoice! Rejoice!
Emmanuel Shall come to thee, O Israel.

2. O come, Thou Rod of Jesse, free 
Thine own from Satan's tyranny; 
From depths of hell Thy people save, 
And give them victory o'er the grave. Refrain

 3. O come, Thou Day-Spring, come and cheer 
Our spirits by Thine advent here; 
Disperse the gloomy clouds of night 
And death's dark shadows put to flight! Refrain

4. O come, Thou Key of David, come, 
And open wide our heavenly home; 
Make safe the way that leads on high, 
And close the path to misery. Refrain 

5. O come, O come, Thou Lord of Might,
Who to Thy tribes on Sinai's height 
In ancient times didst give the law 
In cloud, and majesty, and awe. Refrain
